. . . The Alarm Clock Rings . . The alarm clock rings at six. You roll over, half asleep, to turn it off. It would be nice to sleep a couple more hours but you have to get up; it's the first day of school. Your summer is over and school, com- plete with early mornings, long classes, and homework, has begun. Today is the day you can see all of your friends again, you will find out what went on over the summer. You will also meet your teachers and get your books. Today you will find out which subjects are boring and which ones you will enjoy. The new year has begun and you have every chance to get involved and suc- ceed. There are sports you will want to get involved in. You have a whole year to join and participate in all those activities that you didn't have time for last year. This is your chance; this can be your best year yet. Don't worry; it'll be fun. Unless you're one of those people who roll over and go back to sleep.

Spirit Week Madness In the light of the waning moon, an extremely large and long snake slithered stealthily. The hiss it gave was that of hundreds of voices screaming and shouting. This was no snake at all, but very many Spaulding students running, walking, crawling, or riding on vehicles. Why? Why were so many students rais- ing hell from South Main to an unsus- pecting Grand Union? The answer is simple: Spirit Week. The snakes biting tongue entered the mechanical doors and at once began trashing the giant store. Newspapers, magazines, ground chuck, emerald graped, pop tarts, ovaltine milk crackers, were all sucked up and brought outside. Many cereal quantities were poured over those brand new red and black shiny shopping carts which were driven under a group of flat bed trucks waiting in a lot for their owners . .. who would arrive 15 minutes later to see nothing but Smurf- berry Crunchies covering the ground.
